Sr. TME for AI Security, WAAP and Automation

At F5, we strive to bring a better digital world to life. Our teams empower organizations across the globe to create, secure, and run applications that enhance how we experience our evolving digital world. We are passionate about cybersecurity, from protecting consumers from fraud to enabling companies to focus on innovation. 
 

Everything we do centers around people. That means we obsess over how to make the lives of our customers, and their customers, better. And it means we prioritize a diverse F5 community where each individual can thrive.

Position Summary:
F5 is seeking a dynamic Senior Technical Marketing Engineer (TME) to lead technical content creation, product evangelism, and enablement initiatives with a primary focus on AI security, WAAP, and DevSecOps. This role combines deep technical expertise with creative storytelling to demystify and promote F5's portfolio, including BIG-IP, NGINX, and F5 Distributed Cloud (XC), in the context of AI-driven defenses, secure API ecosystems, and DevSecOps engineering workflows.

You will proactively master emerging technologies, develop compelling assets that accelerate adoption, and own virtual/hardware lab environments. While centered on AI security (e.g., protecting LLMs and agentic models with tools like F5 AI Guardrails and AI Red Teaming), API security (e.g., OWASP-guided protections), and DevSecOps (e.g., GitHub automation, tool development, vulnerable app creation, and demo setups), the role requires adaptability to shifting business priorities. This includes expanding into broader F5 solutions like application delivery, application security, platform orchestration, XOps integrations, and all deployment models (hardware, virtual, cloud-native, hybrid, multi-cloud). As priorities evolve, you will seamlessly pivot to support these areas, ensuring F5's leadership in modern infrastructures without extended ramp-up periods.

Key Responsibilities:

• Solution Development & Enablement
  • Design and implement scalable lab environments (hardware-based, virtual, and cloud-native) for demonstrating AI security scenarios, API protection use cases, and DevSecOps workflows, including extensive demo setups and vulnerable app development to simulate real-world threats.
  • Create demo kits, sample configurations, enablement playbooks, and agentic AI tools focused on AI security (e.g., F5 AI Guardrails, AI Red Teaming, LLM Model Security and Observability, Secure AI Model Inferencing, Shadow AI Detection and Mitigation), WAAP, and DevSecOps engineering (e.g., GitHub automation for CI/CD pipelines).
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Product Management, and Field teams to capture evolving customer needs, building reusable assets that adapt to broader priorities like application delivery optimization and XOps workflows across all F5-supported deployment models.
• Technical Content Creation
  • Author and publish in-depth content, including configuration guides, solution briefs, demo videos, blog posts, interactive dashboards, branded reports, and web-based tools that highlight AI security innovations (e.g., red teaming simulations), API security best practices (e.g., guided by OWASP API Security and OWASP LLM), and DevSecOps efficiencies (e.g., automated tool development).
  • Deliver engaging presentations at customer briefings, partner workshops, industry events, and analyst sessions, translating complex AI/ML integrations, API vulnerabilities, and DevSecOps processes into business value.
  • Produce deliverables in various formats (e.g., real-time dashboards for AI threat monitoring, branded strategic reports on API trends, technical web tools for DevSecOps simulations) to drive adoption and provide actionable insights, incorporating frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP LLM for comprehensive coverage.
• DevSecOps & Innovation
  • Build automated, scalable test/demo frameworks using Python, Terraform, Ansible, GitHub automation, and AI/ML tools to streamline AI security validations, API protection workflows, and operational intelligence.
  • Develop new tools, vulnerable apps, and extensive demo setups to showcase F5 AI Security, WAAP, AI Guardrails, AI red teaming exercises, DevSecOps-driven playbooks and any integrations effectively
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps engineering, and cloud-native integrations, while remaining flexible to adapt to emerging priorities in application delivery, platform management, and XOps across hardware, virtual, and distributed deployments.
• Field Engagement & Advocacy
  • Serve as a trusted advisor in field enablement, webinars, customer engagements, and competitive discussions, emphasizing AI se
